2. Fast Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_Ethernet

   Fast Ethernet is an extension of the 10-megabit Ethernet standard. It runs on twisted pair or optical fiber cable in a star wired bus topology, similar to the IEEE standard 802.3i called 10BASE-T, itself an evolution of 10BASE5 (802.3) and 10BASE2 (802.3a). Fast Ethernet devices are generally backward compatible with existing 10BASE-T systems ...

3. Optical Carrier transmission rates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_Carrier...

   Transmission rates are defined by rate of the bitstream of the digital signal and are designated by hyphenation of the acronym OC and an integer value of the multiple of the basic unit of rate, e.g., OC-48. The base unit is 51.84 Mbit/s. [2] Thus, the speed of optical-carrier-classified lines labeled as OC-n is n × 51.84 Mbit/s.

4. Multi-mode optical fiber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-mode_optical_fiber

   The equipment used for communications over multi-mode optical fiber is less expensive than that for single-mode optical fiber. [1] Typical transmission speed and distance limits are 100 Mbit/s for distances up to 2 km (), 1 Gbit/s up to 1000 m, and 10 Gbit/s up to 550 m.

5. Gigabit Ethernet - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gigabit_Ethernet

   Gigabit Ethernet. Intel PRO/1000 GT PCI network interface controller. In computer networking, Gigabit Ethernet (GbE or 1 GigE) is the term applied to transmitting Ethernet frames at a rate of a gigabit per second. The most popular variant, 1000BASE-T, is defined by the IEEE 802.3ab standard. It came into use in 1999, and has replaced Fast ...

6. Ethernet physical layer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethernet_physical_layer

   The Ethernet physical layer has evolved over its existence starting in 1980 and encompasses multiple physical media interfaces and several orders of magnitude of speed from 1 Mbit/s to 400 Gbit/s. The physical medium ranges from bulky coaxial cable to twisted pair and optical fiber with a standardized reach of up to 80 km.
